winter fork service.
« on: 18 January 2015, 07:07:25 pm »
Never been happy with standard forks and I've even got R1 forks on  a 53 plate  Fazer, 9.5 springs  maybe a bit harsh for me. Running that with fork Extender's to 782mm length .
Had brought some years back a spare pair of forks off flea bay so I dug um outta storage last week and what do u know, buggered adjusters. Darn it
So  after a swap about and a re oil of 440ml good stuff I took it out forra test this morning and has tony the tiger used to say" it's ggggggreat."
Bike forks set at 780mm 440 ml of 10 w oil , comp 10 from H, rebound set on 4 from H . ride height is 25/32.
Rear has modified ohlins unit from a gpx 750
With ride height set on 7/28.
Gotta say I can't wait for warmer weather to do some side by side tests.
PS these forks on a 04 Fazer.
